Christmas Cards 2018

This year I used up some Kanban Crafts foiled card blanks that I bought several years ago. The Nativity die is from Cottage Cutz and the sentiment dies are from Tattered Lace.

For the family I did something different. The wreath is from Tonic Studios.

The other dies are from Tattered Lace.

Sentiment is from Tattered Lace.

Sentiment is from the same Tonic Studios set as the wreath.

Now Christmas is well and truly over, I can share with you some of the cards I made.

First, two eclipse cards featuring 'Year of Cheer' DSP.

Next I used up some Kanban Crafts foiled card blanks and Chritmas papers die cut with retired Stampin' Up! dies.
